Efficient and accurate description of adsorption in zeolites
arXiv:1908.01490 · doi:10.1063/1.5123425
Abstract
Accurate theoretical methods are needed to correctly describe adsorption on solid surfaces or in porous materials. The random phase approximation with singles corrections scheme (RPA) and the second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) are two schemes which offer high accuracy at affordable computational cost. However, there is little knowledge about their applicability and reliability for different adsorbates and surfaces. Here we calculate adsorption energies of seven different molecules in zeolite chabazite to show that RPA with singles corrections is superior to MP2 not only in terms of accuracy but also in terms of computer time. Therefore RPA with singles is suitable scheme for obtaining highly accurate adsorption energies in porous materials and similar systems.
